AMS Neve 8424E – 24-Channel Resettable Analogue Console

The Neve 8424E is a compact, fully resettable analogue console built around Neve’s modern 80-series sound. Its Marinair transformer-coupled stereo mix bus, 24 channels, four mono groups, and 48-input mixing capacity support tracking and mixing in studios that need flexible routing without a large-format footprint.

Elements control at the console

The E-Controller provides four touch-sensitive encoders with LED halo displays for direct control of connected Elements processors. The Elements Upstand Screen is a high-resolution TFT touchscreen that shows processor parameters and routing at the listening position. Two digitally controlled VCA compressors can operate in dual-mono or stereo configurations through the console’s Smart Routing system.

Configure your studio

Choose Elements 88R EQ, 88R Dynamics, and 1084 EQ processors to suit your channel and processing requirements. These are external analogue processors connected through the console’s insert paths. External microphone preamps, including up to three 1073OPX units, can be integrated to build a tracking system. Processor and preamp quantities depend on the purchased configuration; pictures of complete studio systems illustrate optional equipment.

Existing 8424 owners also have an upgrade path through the E-Controller and Elements Upstand Screen. The Neve Elements App and Element Control Plugin provide graphical control, session recall, and automation of connected Elements hardware.
